Tweets Generation with Markov Chain

This program generates random sentences using a Markov chain algorithm. The program reads a given file and generates a dictionary of words and their corresponding probabilities. Then, it uses the probabilities to generate random sentences.

Usage

To run the program, use the following command:

./text_generator <seed> <#sentences to generate> <path> [optional: <#words to read>]

1. seed: A random seed for the program.
2. #sentences to generate: The number of random sentences to generate.
3. path: The path to the file to read.
4. #words to read (optional): The number of words to read from the file. If not specified, the entire file will be read.

Examples

Here are some examples of how to run the program:

./text_generator 454545 15 justdoit_tweets.txt

This will generate 5 random sentences using the file input.txt as the source of words, using the seed 123.

Compilation

To compile the program, run the following command:

gcc text_generator.c -o text_generator

This will generate an executable file named text_generator.
